Hi,
If any change of progressing this, i would appreciate if i could
hear about it.
And also work together on it.
Best,

Quoting Henry Minsky <[email protected]>:
During our latest bug scrub, the OpenLaszlo team had to make a decision
about how to prioritize SOAP bugs.
We realized that we don't have the resources to continue maintaining the
existing SOAP functionality,
along with the large number of high priority platform tasks that we are
working on.
If there are people in the community relying on SOAP support, this might be
an opportunity to get together
and work on a new version of an API.
The way the SOAP package works currently is by passing a SOAP envelope to
the LPS server, where an Apache library in Java is used as a proxy to
perform the SOAP request. But given the power of today's Flash 10 and DHTML
runtime environments, I think it might be possible to implement the SOAP
mechanism completely in LZX/javascript on the client.
The LPS server (or something compatible with the data proxy protocol) could
still be used to prox underlying XML data requests at the transport layer,
if that were needed to bypass browser security limitations. But it would
simplify things considerably to implement the SOAP protocol entirely in
LZX.
I have read that Flash 10 has a SOAP RPC library (though I have not tried
it), and there may be others available written in Javascript for DHTML
which would make a good base for a new SOAP package for OpenLaszlo.
It does not look like we're going to be fixing any of the outstanding SOAP
bugs at this point, so users depending on
this feature should begin to make other plans.
